The starting point
Project overview
A SaaS platform for writing, compiling, and collaborating on LaTeX documents in the browser, with an AI agent that helps generate and repair LaTeX along the way.
The context
Writing a LaTeX document brings together editing, compilation, and file management. Ryx combines these tasks with real-time collaboration and AI assistance in a shared workspace.
From problem to product
The approach
Compile with a dedicated service
A Go microservice handles LaTeX compilation separately from the editor.
Assist the writing workflow
An AI agent generates LaTeX and helps correct syntax errors, while Blob Storage supports file management.
